Tolland County Dive Team Homepage
Description
The Tolland County Rescue Dive Team currently has approximately 75 members from 22 towns in and around Tolland County, Connecticut. Our members are volunteer fire fighters and EMS personnel who make themselves available to the team. The team meets the first Wednesday of every month and usually drills the following Sunday. Meetings are held at a host fire department station, and the drill is done on a local water way within the host department's town.
We train for rescue scenarios and realize that the every rescue effort could end up as a recovery. We do not do evidence recovery of any type. That is left to the state and local police dive teams. We do on occasionally work with the State Police in larger rescue efforts like the Connecticut river. Primarily we support the towns within Tolland County.
Our normal mode of activations is through the towns local fire departments. The are alerted to an emergency through the Tolland County Dispatch Center. Once they arrive on scene and determine a need for the dive team we are then dispatched. We have different levels of response depending on what type of emergency it might be. It is up to our county command structure to decide what type of response required.
